Twitter apologizes for mishandling of Guy Adams' suspension - latimes.com

Twitter apologizes for mishandling of Guy Adams' suspension - latimes.com: "Twitter apologized for its mishandling of journalist Guy Adams' suspension from the social network.

Adams, the Los Angeles correspondent for the British newspaper The Independent, was suspended from Twitter on Sunday after tweeting the corporate email address of Gary Zenkel, the president of NBC Olympics. Twitter has implied it considers posting corporate email addresses without permission a violation of its rules.

The company on Tuesday said it erred when its team working with NBC alerted the network's staff about the tweet and told them it violated Twitter's rules. The Twitter team then encouraged NBC to report the violation."
